A blacksmith by trade, Jago was diminutive, but sturdy half-back. He played his early rugby with Falmouth in Cornwall, until moving to Plymouth and joining Devonport Albion, from where he gained all five of his England caps. This included an international against the touring 1906–07 Springboks. He made 59 appearances for Devon, captaining the county to back to back titles in 1911 and 1912.^[3]
